BMW is the most Carbon-Conscious Car Manufacturer
In a recent study that tested Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, Nissan Motor, Hyundai Motor, Kia Motors, Volkswagen, BMW, Subaru and Mitsubishi Motors, the conclusion was that other than Toyota and BMW, car manufacturers have done nothing to facilitate the Earth.
The rate of carbon dioxide emissions from new cars and light trucks in the U.S. dipped for the first time in two decades, but their overall contribution to global warming has continued to grow steadily since 1990.

Out of all the manufacturers tested, BMW had improved by 12% percent, the highest in it’s class. The 2nd best, turning out extremely poor next to BMW is Toyota which only improved by 3%, and I’m sure you can imagine the improvements (quite the opposite in some cases) that were recorded. Well you won’t have to imagine, because we have the figures here.
• BMW, reduced 12.3 percent.
• Toyota, reduced 3 percent .
• Volkswagen, up 1.3 percent.
• Subaru, up 1.6 percent.
• General Motors, up 3 percent.
• Mitsubishi, up 4 percent.
• Honda, up 4.4 percent.
• Ford, up 4.7 percent.
• DaimlerChrysler, up 4.8 percent.
• Nissan, up 9.2 percent.
• Hyundai, up 17 percent.
• Kia, up 30 percent.
Oooh, Kia, that’s pretty shocking. We won’t even go into the one’s they haven’t recorded. -Ed.
